JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 4.1 newtons laws of motion

A particle of mass \(m\) is acted upon by a force \(F\) given by the empirical law \(F = \frac{R}{{{t^2}}}\,v(t)\). If this law is to be tested experimentally by observing the motion starting from rest, the best way is to plot 

  1. A \(log\, v(t)\) against \(\frac{1}{t}\)
  2. B \(v(t)\) against \(t^2\)
  3. C \(log\, v(t)\) against \(\frac{1}{t^2}\)
  4. D \(v(t)\) against \(t\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(log\, v(t)\) against \(\frac{1}{t}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{array}{l} From\,F = \frac{R}{{{t^2}}}v\left( t \right) \Rightarrow m\frac{{dv}}{{dt}} = \frac{R}{{{t^2}}}v\left( t \right)\\ Integrating\,both\,sides\,\int {\frac{{dv}}{v} = \int {\frac{{Rdt}}{{m{t^2}}}} } \\ In\,v = - \frac{R}{{mt}}\\ \therefore \,In\,v\, \propto…
